My mum rang me at 5.37am (it is currently Friday 6.20am in New Zealand), to break the news to me. May Queen Elizabeth rest in peace. :(

So sad. Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth II. She was a monarch for over 70 years.

King Charles III is now the monarch of the United Kingdom.

Some nice speeches in the commons yesterday for her. Theresa May and Boris Johnson in particular made nice tributes and not afraid to laugh at themselves.
